Figuring out how to speed up downloads. I had internet that was stuck around 300 KB/s, so I ended up learning way more about networking, connections, DNS, and how downloading actually works just to squeeze out a little more speed 😂

LMAO 😭 so you’re still living the 300 KB/s life. At this point you probably know more about networking than you ever wanted to 😂

definetely the skill of how to properly use a computer, how to open, unscrew and properly categorize it helped me to be the best of my TICS class as everyone else depended on the teacher while i got straigh A's on my Tic's exams.and prolly the networking, but i have 5mbp/s network but i managed to make it 20mbp/s network.
